CALL TO ORDER
Supervisor
Williamson called the meeting to order at 6:06 P.M. Present for the roll call were; Supervisor Ed Williamson, Councilors Eric Clothier,
Tracy Doyle, Melissa Fortier and Brenda Frazier-Hartle. Deputy Supervisor John Snow Jr. and Highway
Superintendent Jeff Richards were also present.
There were 2 Residents and Guests in attendance.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Supervisor
Williamson and the Town Clerk received an email from Senator Ritchie’s office with
several pages of Laws and Procedures by Appendix 8 covering Interstate and
Other Freeway Access Control and Modifications.
Anyone wishing to read this may do so by coming to the office.
The
Board discussed with Highway Superintendent Richards which roads should be
paved. Mr. Richards has added Wilcox
Road to the list. Deputy Supervisor Snow
Jr. stated Wilcox Road was just done 3 years ago. He went on to say, if we are going to pay the
County $60,000.00 to pave a road that was done by another contractor 3 years
ago for $30,000.00, financially it doesn’t made sense to use the other
contractor. In the long run it would be
cheaper to use the County. We need to
use the County Engineer and the Town Engineer to advise us which roads are best
suited to be paved by the County. The County Engineer will come and look at the
roads and help get them in shape.
Deputy
Supervisor Snow Jr. and Diane Haskins, Clerk to the Supervisor, attended a free
Retirement System Workshop on May 13. It
was very informative and helpful.
